The latest family-friendly medical handbook is designed to meet the needs of the widest range of readers for concise, up-to-date information on issues related to health and disease. All information included in the reference book is divided into several sections, among which the predominant ones in terms of volume are "Diseases, syndromes, symptoms," "Diagnostic methods," "Methods and means of prevention and treatment." A slightly smaller volume is occupied by sections that outline mainly the theoretical foundations of medicine, as well as the concepts of sexology and sexopathology and therapeutic and diagnostic methods of alternative medicine.
